I agree that the warranty could indeed be affected. The Carrier warranty does not specifically address a soft start device, but it does say that any modifications to the unit must be authorized by Carrier. I would definitely not install this device on a Carrier compressor that is still covered by a 10-year parts warranty. I watched the video, and you actually need to remove the condenser cover plate and modify the wiring. If the compressor fails, I doubt that Carrier would honor the warranty.
